Somerville has become the second city in Massachusetts to eliminate all minimum parking requirements city-wide.
"I think [parking reform] can be a difficult conversation to start, but I really do think that there’s a lot of value in pursuing it.” @BenForWard3

Not sure if anyone is still on Twitter. But if you are, check out this piece I wrote about transit wins in Nashville and Columbus!

Voters choose transit in two sprawling cities:
Successful ballot initiatives in Nashville, Tennessee, and Columbus, Ohio, have the potential to greatly improve mobility and transit in two of America’s fastest growing, automobile-dominated cities.

Wrapped up our week of #VisionZero Walk Audits with over 160 residents, elected officials, and City staff joining us.
Special thank you to Jeff Speck of SpeckDempsey and Jason Schrieber & Catrina Meyer of Stantec for leading them.
Time to finalize the plan and get to work

Thank you to everyone who came out to our five walk audits this week. The data collected will help inform the development of short-term recommendations and a toolbox for the City to continue the Vision Zero strategy long-term.

Admittedly, the White Stadium plan has been an issue of concern to me. But @cdempc, someone I deeply respect, has made a strong case for support.

Great piece by @cdempc in today's Commonwealth Beacon newsletter! Few better voices to make the case that @MayorWu's plan for White Stadium has been open and transparent. Let's move forward and bring this important community asset into the 21st century.

Smart policies from the team @MAPCMetroBoston. Not only do they raise revenue to fund improved transportation, they also discourage unnecessary vehicle trips. We need lots more of this to fix our worst-in-the-nation congestion.

Decades of underinvestment have left the Commonwealth’s transportation system buried in debt & facing an overwhelming maintenance backlog. Yesterday, we released a series of 3 policy briefs that highlighted ways to make the State’s current transportation..
